God's plan of redemption - explained

The Mark of the Beast

In the book of Revelation (the last book of the New Testament) the Apostle John speaks of a time when everybody will have to have a specific mark in order to buy or sell anything.

We should take a careful look at this.

It is said that this mark will be placed under the skin on forehead of person wishing to buy or see anything. If they do not have the mark they will not be able to trade anything.

Some people would suggest that a person could get the mark if they agreed to worship an idol which will probably be set up in the area known as the holy of holies in the third temple. If you do not agree to that then you will not be allowed to buy or sell.

The idols they are agreeing to worship is the man of sin Satan himself. Scripture later says also that if anyone agrees to this and takes the mark of the beast they will have brought upon himself eternal damnation.

There will be a large number who do refuse to take the mark and these God Himself will take care of until the end of the tribulation.

Nobody will be forced to take the mark but this mark can be positively identified as a microchip giving much detail about yourself.

Every time you shop in a food store they will click on the bar code of the product to prove that you have paid for it. Just as happens in a supermarket today. This will be brought in when we see a cashless society. We are heading in that direction very quickly.

With bank cards and credit cards we are almost there. Each person will be given their own identification mark. Things are moving very quickly, nowadays criminals can forge a signature, a credit card and even the money you have in your pocket will be so easy for them and so will happen more and more as we head towards the great tribulation that the people of the earth will cry out for these measures to be brought in not realising the trap that will ensnare them.

As for the beast itself? in the 1970s a computer has been built that can handle every transaction on earth, unbeknown to those who built it is called the Beast and is housed in one of the European Countries ready for use at any time.

Are you worried that it could ensnare you in your lifetime? Worry no more, if you are a born again Christian you will not be on earth to see these things happen.

Where will you be and how can I be sure of this will be covered in our next study.
